This week saw two happenings in the Masonic world that bears notice.

 1. The MW Grand Lodge of WV and MW Brother Frank J. Haas's attorneys met in mediation and failed to meet any agreement. The Judge has set a trial date of November 2,  2009.

 2. The MW Grand lodge of Virginia apparently lost a 5 year old lawsuit requiring them to reinstate an expelled mason without a vote for fear of prejudice.We do not know all the details but it is clear that the courts are willing to make decisions regarding private organizations when they fail to follow their own rules.

 Oh and yes we are still watching and being hopeful that Masonry is brought back into the light in West Virginia......
